Gov. Abbott alone trumps them all, including Trump endorsements!
In fact, I heard on EWTN, a conservative Catholic radio/tv network, asking their listeners to THANK Gov. Abbott for his bravery fighting for religious liberty.
I was mistaken about DD not being a “Grand Wizard”. Sorry. I don’t know enough about the KKK to keep all their BS straight.
As far as the rest:
So, saying something nice = endorsement? NO.
David Duke never endorsed Donald Trump.

Donald Trump disavows the supposed Duke endorsement a few seconds after he hears of it for the first time... THREE DAYS AGO.

As far as Trump refusing to disavow all ‘white supremacist groups’ ad hock, keep in mind that there are many people who believe that Oath Keepers and the ENTIRE Republican party are WS. Anyone who has an issue with illegal immigration are WS. Why would a presidential candidate fall into the leftist trap of condemning all conservatives in the left-wing mind?
Finally, I want to know when the Democrats are going to apologize for CREATING the KKK in the first place.

This is a nothing burger to attack the front runner and you damn well know it.
Enjoy Hillary’s reign. You’re responsible for it. You’re giving the left every talking point that they could ever want for the general.
In 48 hours, Ted Cruz will be out. Word is, he’s already worked out a deal with Rubio.
Marie,
You can split hairs all you want as to whether Duke “endorsed” him or not... when virtually all reports on the matter state “endorsed”, vs “said nice things about”... chances are... it’s an endorsement.
I never said anything about Trump failing to disavow “all white supremacist groups,” so that’s a red herring to this discussion. “Oath keepers” are not an issue here. David Duke is.
I too would like to know when the dems are going to apologize for the creation of the KKK.
“Enjoy Hillary’s reign. You’re responsible for it. You’re giving the left every talking point that they could ever want for the general.”
I realize that’s the new talking point of the Trumpette troops, ok? Oppose Trump at this point, you’re “helping Hillary.” Nothing could be further from the truth. What will ultimately help Hillary is Trump himself... his statements, his background and his shapeshifting policy stances. I have said many times on this forum, my vote in November will be against Hillary.
Much as I detest Trump, Hillary is even more detestable... so I will — once again — go to the lesser of two evils and cast my vote against her, even if it means that selection will have Trump’s name next to it. Got it?
But until the primary is settled, I will loudly oppose Trump. I don’t like him or trust him.
Sessions said nice things about Cruz, but endorsed Trump.
An endorsement is to put your name behind someone.
Duke did not do this.
Levin said nice things about Trump, but ultimately ENDORSED Cruz.
Huck has been defending Trump a LOT lately, but he hasn’t ENDORSED him. As Huck has been speaking so positively about Trump, should we just count that as an endorsement in your eyes?
So if you want to wrap it all into one bundle, then you’ve got to hand Trump almost every politician and talking head that said, “He’s bringing issues to the forefront like no one else can.” “Trump is great for the Republican party.” etc last summer.
No. Duke did not endorse Trump and he’s publicly stating so.
Every reference shows an “endorsement” of Trump. Like I said.. we can split hairs all day long, but this genie is out of the bottle and Trump handled it badly.
By your post, I have to gather that Rubio is out.
Sounds good, and I hope you’re right.
And yet, the MSNBC bungling and race-baiting has taken over the day on the internet. :)
Here’s why Trump releasing his medical records doesn’t work for me.
Even if he had surgery, and there are were x rays proving beyond any reasonable doubt that Trump had this affliction, people like you would still say that the records were forged, or that the treatment was still just a ruse.
I don't know if you are old enough to remember that time, but it was very common for those with the resources to do so to do just this to avoid serving.
Regarding the David Duke endorsement, the problem isn't the endorsement, but with Trump's ambivalent response. And, Trump's claim that it was due to a bad earpiece is absurd, since he repeated both "David Duke" and "white supremacists".
Perhaps Trump is old and tired. Perhaps he's suffering from early-stage Alzheimer's. But it was an embarrassing performance, and the piranha like attacks of the cultists don't help your cause.
I am trying to figure out what is more pathetic, you pulling the age card on me, or you attacking Trump for doing what millions of other americans did during the Vietnam war...
Using a student deferment to avoid the draft was not a crime, if it was then the government would not have created a student deferment in the first place, nor was it a crime to be judged as 4F or unsuited for military service due to a medical condition and I don’t care if his doctor wrote a note or not, the ultimate arbitrator in the military would have been an Army doctor at the draft board who decided he was unable to serve or not.
Funny how that works isn’t it, you see I know this because I was once sent home as “4F” by an induction center in 1975 because of ant bites on my legs. I was declared fit for duty a few months later after those infections had cleared up.
And yes I remember how no one wanted to be drafted during the Vietnam war, I’m a lot older than you think.
I like Cruz...but wonder why he voted for tpa?.....
